“…Wheel rims, sometimes known as spherical wheels, are a type of circular component that can rotate along an axis, making it possible for them to carry and propel their loads. The vehicle's rim wheels play a vital role in the vehicle's steadiness and manoeuvrability (Rahul and Jaya Prakash 2020). Having sturdy rim wheels is one way to improve the safety of a vehicle, but they have a negative impact on performance because of their weight and resistance to motion.…”

Investigators are dedicating more work to the creation of lightweight vehicles as a result of the rising emphasis placed by the automotive industry on energy efficiency and environmental responsibility. While developing a wheel, it is important to keep both technology and safety considerations in mind simultaneously. Alloy materials are commonly used in the design of sports bike wheel rims due to their lightweight, strength, and durability. The ultimate goal of this study is to lay the groundwork for coming up with new designs for wheels and spokes that can be used on sports bike. In this work, it would be possible to compare how alloys of magnesium and titanium respond to stress and strain compared to structural steel materials. Using an equivalent stress and deformation investigation, two modern designs of wheel spokes for the sports bikes and three materials were compared. This study makes some insightful projections about the reliability of the structural design and provides useful references for the manufacture of alloy wheels. According to the stress analysis, the Ti alloy produces a stress concentration that is about 0.5% lower than on Model A and around 1% lower value for stainless steel on the Model B wheel rim design. Mg alloy has a deflection of about 77% and 53% more than stainless steel and titanium alloy, respectively, in the construction of the model A and B wheel rim.
